Where a person dies leaving a will, solicitors advise executors on gathering the estate, paying debts and legacies, and applying for the grant of probate. They draft and check the estate accounts, liaise with HM Revenue & Customs and the Probate Registry, identify beneficiaries, and handle claims against the estate. They also navigate deadlines, fiduciary duties and, where relevant, disputes, ensuring assets are distributed in accordance with the will and the law.
The grant of probate is a decisive, time‑sensitive step. A solicitor helps the executor meet the legal duties, prepare and submit the necessary papers, address Inheritance Tax and other liabilities, and keep detailed, auditable records to protect the executor from personal liability if a mistake occurs.

I was lucky enough to be recommended Capa Law. I found it very easy to deal with all the staff. Jessie was my conveyor to sell my late mother’s house, she done a great job and communicated with the other solicitors I had representing me during probate.

Tagged solicitor Hannah Bourke
I was the executor for my Uncle and went to Meadows for help. My particular solicitor, Hannah Bourke, made me feel comfortable from day one right through a complicated process to the end a year later. She and her team in Weybridge were just amazing, clear and efficient. I recommend them highly and without hesitation.
